U.S. Senate candidates Jenny Wilson and Mitt Romney face off Tuesday at Southern Utah University in their only televised debate ahead of the Nov. 6 election, and Cedar City is gearing up for the event.

Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and Republican presidential candidate who lost to Barack Obama in 2012, is competing against Wilson, a member of the Salt Lake County Council and nominee from the Democratic Party, for the chance to take over the U.S. Senate seat being left by retiring Republican Orrin Hatch.

The debate starts at 6 p.m., at the America First Event Center, SUU's 5,300-seat sports arena.

Tickets for the event are no longer available, but those who already acquired theirs may pick them up at the event one hour prior to its start. The public can submit questions for the debate via the commission's website, http://utahdebatecommission.org.

The debate airs live on channels 5 (KSL), 2 (KUTV), 4 (Good4Utah), 13 (Fox13), and 7 (KUED). KSL Newsradio (102.7FM) and Utah Public Radio stations will also carry it live.

Media partners will carry live streams on their websites and the Utah Debate Commission will stream it via Facebook Live.
